The Heart of Illinois Homeless Continuum of Care( HoIHCoC) is the lead entity responsible for the planning process for homless services in the Peoria area, including the cities of Peoria and Pekin and the Counties of Peoria, Tazwell, Woodford and Fulton.
The HoIHCoC was formed in the mid '90's in response to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's mandate that communities develop a "Continuum of Care" for the delivery of services to homeless individuals and families.
Beginning with just four local agencies, the HoIHCoC has grown into a working group of 42 people representing 32 different agencies and businesses and the community at large These agencies and individuals meet collectively on a monthly basis to discuss service delivery, trends, agency developments, issues specific to certain sub-populations and to assist in the development of the HUD and SHP grant, as well as other funding sources, to ensure funding of local programs and seamless service delivery to our homeless population.
In updating the web application that runs the website the old information was lost. Please excuse the mess while we rebuild the hoihcoc website. Suggestion and comments are welcome for some new site content. Please feel free to email me at dustin@ywcapeoria.org.
